The 2015 RWA Australia ELLA Award finalists were announced
and among them is Anna Hackett for her novella BENEATH A TROJAN MOON. Congratulations!

Here's more information per the announcement post:

We are delighted to announce the finalists in the 2015
Ella, RWA’s reader-judged contest for published novellas.

Drumroll for and congratulations to:

Her Christmas Earl by Anna CampbellHome for Christmas by Fiona GreeneBeneath a Trojan Moon by Anna HackettSympathy for the Devil by Kelly Hunter

The competition for a spot on this list was fierce, with 40 entries in a
range of genres.

The winner will be
announced at RWA’s national conference in Melbourne in August.

I find the news especially cool since a) I enjoyed the
story so much I gave it an SFR
Galaxy Award (scroll down) and can attest to the nomination being
well-deserved and b) Ms. Hackett wrote this customized story after I blogged
about how intrigued I was by Relda's character in AT STAR'S END.

The ELLA achievement is great
validation for Anna Hackett and I must say as the book's lucky reader I feel rather giddy about it myself. This is yet another reason why sci-fi romance
rocks!

Joyfully yours,

Heather
